[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the prayer is established, there is no prayer except the obligatory prayer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلَا صَلَاةَ إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ  

[Machine] Amr bin Dinar mentioned, besides those we have already mentioned, Ziyad bin Saad, Muhammad bin Juhadah, Aban bin Yazid al-Attar, Muhammad bin Muslim al-Taaifi, and a group of others.  

عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ سِوَى مَنْ ذَكَرْنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ وَأَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْعَطَّارُ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ وَجَمَاعَةٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the prayer is established, only perform the obligatory prayer." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about the two units of the morning prayer (Fajr)?" He said, "Not even the two units of the morning prayer." Abu Ahmad said, "I do not know any mention of this addition in the text except for Yahya ibn Nasr from Muslim ibn Khalid from Amr." The Shaykh said, "And it has been said from Ahmad ibn Sayyar from Nasr ibn Hajib, and it is a fabrication, and Nasr ibn Hajib al-Marwazi is not reliable, and his son Yahya is also the same. And what we have cited from the authentic hadith is sufficient to invalidate this addition. And with Allah is the facilitation."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلَا صَلَاةَ إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَا رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ؟ قَالَ وَلَا رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ لَا أَعْلَمُ ذَكَرَ هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةَ فِي مَتْنِهِ غَيْرُ يَحْيَى بْنِ نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سَيَّارٍ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ حَاجِبٍ وَهُوَ وَهْمٌ وَنَصْرُ بْنُ حَاجِبٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَابْنُهُ يَحْيَى كَذَلِكَ وَفِيمَا احْتَجَجْنَا بِهِ مِنَ الْأَحَادِيثِ الصَّحِيحَةِ كِفَايَةٌ عَنْ هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the prayer is established, there is no prayer except the obligatory prayer, except for the two Rak'ahs of Fajr." Abu Bakr ibn al-Harith informed Abu Muhammad ibn Hayyan, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Dawud, who narrated from Abu Amr al-Halabi al-Susi, who narrated from Hajjaj ibn Nusayr. This addition has no basis. Hajjaj ibn Nusayr and Abbad ibn Kathir are both weak narrators. It has been said about Hajjaj, by way of his chain of narration from Mujahid, that he replaced Ata', but there is no basis for this. And we have narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattab that when he saw a man praying and he heard the call to prayer, he hit him.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلَا صَلَاةَ إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيِ الصُّبْحِ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ ثنا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْحَلَبِيُّ السُّوسِيُّ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ فَذَكَرَهُ وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ لَا أَصْلَ لَهَا وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ضَعِيفَانِ وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ بَدَلَ عَطَاءٍ وَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَسْمَعُ الْإِقَامَةَ ضَرَبَهُ  

[Machine] And he said, "Do you pray the morning prayer four units?" It is stationary.  

وَقَالَ أَتُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ أَرْبَعًا؟ مَوْقُوفٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw a man praying two voluntary units of prayer after the Fajr prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Fajr prayer consists of two units." The man replied, "I had not prayed the two units of prayer that come before them, so I prayed them now." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent. Abu Dawood narrated, on the authority of Hameed bin Yahya, who said that Sufyan reported that Ata bin Abi Rabah narrated this hadith from Sa'd bin Sa'id. Abu Dawood said that Abdullah bin Rabee narrated this hadith from his father and Yahya, the sons of Sa'id. This hadith is transmitted as Mursal (a type of Hadith where the Sahabi who narrated it is omitted). The Shaykh (meaning Abu Dawood) said that it has also been narrated from a different chain.  

رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةُ الصُّبْحِ رَكْعَتَانِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ صَلَّيْتُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَهُمَا فَصَلَّيْتُهُمَا الْآنَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا حَامِدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ كَانَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَى عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ وَيَحْيَى ابْنَا سَعِيدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مُرْسَلًا أَنَّ جَدَّهُمْ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ  

[Machine] He (the narrator) said, "I came and the Prophet ﷺ was praying the Fajr prayer, so I prayed with him. When he completed the prayer, he stood up and prayed two Rak'ahs of Fajr. The Prophet ﷺ then asked him, 'What were these two Rak'ahs?' He replied, 'I did not pray them before Fajr.' Then he remained quiet and did not say anything." Abu 'Abdullah Al-Hafiz reported it from Abu Al-'Abbas Muhammad bin Ya'qub, who narrated it from Ar-Rabi' bin Sulaiman, who narrated it from Asad bin Musa, who narrated it from Al-Laith bin Sa'd, who narrated it from Yahya bin Sa'id, who mentioned it.  

أَنَّهُ جَاءَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَصَلَّى مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فَقَالَ له النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا هَاتَانِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ؟ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَكُنْ صَلَّيْتُهُمَا قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ فَسَكَتُ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا أَنْبَأَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] "We took part in the marriage procession of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we did not awaken until the sun rose. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said for each man to take hold of his mount, as this is the place where the devil comes to. He then called for water and performed ablution, then prostrated twice. Then the morning prayer was established and he performed the dawn prayer."  

عَرَّسْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نَسْتَيْقِظْ حَتَّى طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِيَأْخُذْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ بِرَأْسِ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَنْزِلٌ حَضَرَنَا الشَّيْطَانُ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالْمَاءِ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَصَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever does not pray the two units of the morning prayer (Fajr), then let him pray them when the sun rises. And it was narrated by Abu Abdullah, on the authority of Abu Zakariyya Yahya ibn Muhammad al-Anbari, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Abi Talib, on the authority of Abu Badr Abbad ibn al-Walid al-Ghubari, on the authority of Amr ibn Asim, who mentioned it with a similar chain of narration, except that he said on the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , 'Whoever does not pray the two units of the dawn prayer (Fajr) until the sun rises, then let him pray them.' This was mentioned specifically by Amr ibn Asim, and Allah knows best. And Amr ibn Asim is trustworthy."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيِ الْغَدَاةِ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ 4555 وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ ثنا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثنا أَبُو بَدْرٍ عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْغُبَرِيُّ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِ إِسْنَادِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَلْيُصَلِّهِمَا تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ثِقَةٌ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: He who misses him daily round of recital or part of it due to sleep and he recites it between the dawn and the noon prayers, will be reckoned as if he recited it at night. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1313)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ نَامَ عَنْ حِزْبِهِ أَوْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ فَقَرَأَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ كُتِبَ لَهُ كَأَنَّمَا قَرَأَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] Whoever misses praying his night prayer and reads it when the sun rises until the time of Dhuhr prayer, it is as if he did not miss it, or as if he caught up with it. This was informed by Abu Al-Hasan Ibn Al-Fadl, who was informed by Abdullah Ibn Ja'far, who was informed by Ya'qub Ibn Sufyan, who was informed by Ibn Qa'nab and Ibn Bukayr, from Malik, who mentioned it as a statement.  

مَنْ فَاتَهُ حِزْبُهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَرَأَهُ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَفُتْهُ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُ أَدْرَكَهُ أَنْبَأَهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا ابْنُ قَعْنَبٍ وَابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ مَوْقُوفًا  

[Machine] Indeed, I did not pray the two units of the dawn prayer.  

إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ صَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيِ الْغَدَاةِ  

The Prophet ﷺ permitted the people who provided the pilgrims with water to stay at Mecca during the nights of Mina. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1743)   

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me after Asr prayer and prayed two rak'ahs. I asked, "O Messenger, what are these two rak'ahs? Did you used to pray them?" He replied, "I used to pray them after Dhuhr prayer, but some wealth came to me and I became occupied with it, so I am praying them now."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ مَا هَاتَانِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ مَا كُنْتَ تُصَلِّيهِمَا؟ فَقَالَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّيهِمَا بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَجَاءَنِي مَالٌ فَشَغَلَنِي عَنْهُمَا فَصَلَّيْتُ الْآنَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray twelve units of prayer when he missed the night prayer due to pain or otherwise, during the daytime.  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا فَاتَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مِنْ وَجَعٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ صَلَّى مِنَ النَّهَارِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: He who misses him daily round of recital or part of it due to sleep and he recites it between the dawn and the noon prayers, will be reckoned as if he recited it at night. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1313)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ نَامَ عَنْ حِزْبِهِ أَوْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ فَقَرَأَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ كُتِبَ لَهُ كَأَنَّمَا قَرَأَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] Whoever misses his portion of the night and recites it when the sun rises until the prayer of Dhuhr, it is as if he did not miss it or as if he caught up to it. Abu Ahmad al-Adl reported to us, Abu Bakr ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Ya'qub ibn Sufyan narrated to us, Ibn Qa'nab and Ibn Bukair narrated from Malik, and he mentioned it as a statement.  

مَنْ فَاتَهُ حِزْبُهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَرَأَ بِهِ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَفُتْهُ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُ أَدْرَكَهُ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْعَدْلُ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا ابْنُ قَعْنَبٍ وَابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ مَوْقُوفًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: "Which deeds are most beloved to Allah?" He replied: "The most consistent ones, even if they are small." This hadith is narrated by Shu'bah in Sahih Muslim.  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أِيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ؟ قَالَ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ  

[Machine] I said to Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Show me a deed that Allah would benefit me with." He remained silent. I said again: "Show me a deed that Allah would benefit me with." He remained silent. I said again: "Show me a deed that Allah would benefit me with." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'Whenever a servant prostrates to Allah, Allah raises him a degree and forgives him a sin with it.'" Ma'dan, and in another narration, Suwayd bin Abi Talhah, also narrated a similar Hadith from Abu Ad-Darda'.  

قُلْتُ لِثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي قُلْتُ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي قُلْتُ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً قَالَ مَعْدَانُ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَحَدَّثَنِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ السُّوسِيِّ وَحْدَهُ مَعْدَانُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ  

[Machine] I used to spend the night with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and bring him water for ablution and fulfill his needs. He would then stand up at night and say, "Glory be to my Lord, and praise be to Him, glory be to my Lord, and praise be to Him, glory be to the Lord of the worlds, glory be to the Lord of the worlds." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, "Do you have any need?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah, my only wish is to accompany you in Paradise." He asked, "Anything else?" I repeated, "O Messenger of Allah, my only wish is to accompany you in Paradise." He then said, "Then help me achieve this by increasing your prostrations."  

كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَآتِيهِ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَحَاجَتِهِ فَكَانَ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ الْهَوَى سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الْهَوَى قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرَافَقَتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ أَوَغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرَافَقَتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ  

[Machine] Abdullah bin Mas'ud said, "As long as you are in prayer, you are knocking at the door of the King, and whoever frequently knocks at the door of the King, it will be opened for him."  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِنَّكَ مَا دُمْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْرَعُ بَابَ الْمَلِكِ وَمَنْ يُكْثِرْ قَرْعَ بَابِ الْمَلِكِ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ  

A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the prayer at night. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Prayer during the night should consist of pairs of rak'ahs, but if one of you fears the morning is near he should pray one rak'ah which will make his prayer an odd number for him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1326)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The night prayer should be performed in sets of two. When you see that dawn is approaching, then conclude with one unit of prayer." A man asked Ibn Umar, "What does 'sets of two' mean?" He replied, "You make Salaam after every two units of prayer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ أَنَّ الصُّبْحَ مُدْرِكُكَ فَأَوْتِرْ بِرَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ مَا مَثْنَى؟ قَالَ تُسَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said: The Prophet ﷺ used to pray eleven Rak'ahs (units of prayer) between the end of the night prayer (Isha) and the dawn prayer (Fajr). He would offer the Salaam (concluding the prayer) after every two Rak'ahs, and he would perform the Witr prayer (an odd-numbered prayer) with one Rak'ah. He would also make a long prostration, equivalent to reciting fifty verses of the Qur'an, before raising his head (from prostration). When the caller to prayer finishes the Fajr prayer and the dawn becomes clear to him, the Prophet ﷺ would get up and pray two light Rak'ahs, and then he would lie down on his right side until the caller to prayer comes to give the call for the Iqamah (the final announcement before prayer). He would then come out with the caller to prayer. Some of them add a little to this.  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُسَلِّمُ مِنْ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَيَسْجُدُ سَجْدَةً قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْفَجْرُ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ لِلْإِقَامَةِ فَيَخْرُجَ مَعَهُ قَالَ وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "The prayers of the night and the prayers of the day should be performed in pairs."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The night and day prayers are performed in pairs, in pairs, and likewise..."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Sa'id ibn Jubayr was the nephew of Umar ibnul Khattab, and he used to perform four optional prayers without any interruption between them except for the obligatory prayers.  

سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لَا يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا لَا يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُنَّ إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةُ  

[Machine] This passage translates to: "About Amr and the son of Abu Salama, he is Abdullah ibn Abi Salama."  

عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَابْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The prayer is in pairs, in pairs. You should give the testimony in every two cycles [rak'ahs], then supplicate, humble yourself, hold yourself back, and raise your hands, saying, 'I seek guidance through them to face You [Allah].' And saying, 'O Lord, O Lord.' So whoever does not do this, it is a deficiency, Shu'bah differed regarding its chain of narration."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى تَشَهَّدْ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَضَرَّعْ وَتَخَشَّعْ وَتَمَسْكَنْ وَتَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ تَقُولُ تَسْتَقْبِلُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَكَ وَتَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ خَالَفَهُ شُعْبَةُ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Pray two by two, and make tasleem (saying salaam) in every two rak'ahs, and make takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) and stay in the prayer position for a while, and hold your hands to your sides, and say, 'O Allah, O Allah.' And whoever does not do that, it is a deficiency, it is a deficiency in the hadith of Abu Dawood and in their hadith. And you hold your hands to your sides and say, 'O Allah,' and if you do not do that, it is a deficiency. And in what I have read in the book of al-Ilal of Abu 'Isa al-Tirmidhi, he said, "I heard Muhammad ibn Isma'eel al-Bukhari say about this hadith: The narration of al-Laith ibn Saad from Abd Rabee' ibn Sa'eed is more authentic than the hadith of Shu'bah, and Shu'bah made mistakes in this hadith in some places." He said, "Anas ibn Abi Anas" and it is actually Imran ibn Abi Anas, and Abdullah ibn al-Harith said, "It is actually Abdullah ibn Nafi' from Rabee'ah ibn al-Harith, and Rabee'ah ibn al-Harith is the son of Muttalib." And he said, "He narrated from al-Fadl ibn Abbas."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَتَشَهَّدْ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَبَأَّسْ وَتَمَسْكَنْ وَأَقْنِعْ يَدَيْكَ وَقُلِ اللهُمَّ اللهُمَّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِمْ وَتُقَنِّعُ يَدَيْكَ وَتَقُولُ اللهُمَّ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ وَفِيمَا قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابِ الْعِلَلِ لِأَبِي عِيسَى التِّرْمِذِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيَّ يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ رِوَايَةُ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ وَشُعْبَةُ أَخْطَأَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي مَوَاضِعَ قَالَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ أَبِي أَنَسٍ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَرَبِيعَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ هُوَ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray four units of prayer when the sun sets. Abu Ayyub said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is this prayer?" He said, "Indeed, the gates of heaven are opened when the sun sets, and they do not close until the noon prayer is offered. So, I love to ascend to Allah in them before the gates of the heavens are closed." Abu Ayyub said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you recite in them or are they recited in them?" He said, "Yes." Abu Ayyub then asked, "Is there a specific supplication in them?" He said, "No, except in the last unit, and by implication."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ تُفْتَحُ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ فَلَا تُرْتَجُ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى الظُّهْرُ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ لِي فِيهِنَّ خَيْرٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُرْتَجَ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاوَاتِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ أَوْ يُقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فِيهِنَّ سَلَامٌ فَاصِلٌ؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنَّ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad al-Muqri informed us that al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated to him from Yusuf ibn Ya'qub, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, who narrated from Mu'ammar, who heard from Sufyan, who heard from Al-Amash, who heard from Al-Musayyab ibn Rifa', who heard from a man, who heard from Abu Ayyub that the Prophet ﷺ used to pray four units before Dhuhr (noon prayer). It was said to him, "Indeed, you are consistent in performing this prayer." He said, "When the sun declines and the gates of the heavens are opened, I like to precede before the time of recitation as mentioned in the hadith of Sufyan. And this hadith is also mentioned in the confirmed narration where permission is given for five (units of prayer) without witnessing (tashahhud) or salaam except in the last one which is in Witr (odd-numbered prayer units) and with permission for nine (units of prayer) where one should not sit except in the eighth and should not salaam except in the ninth, and this is also mentioned in Witr."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ح وَأنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثنا مُؤَمَّلٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ تُدِيمُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَأُحِبُّ أَنْ أُقَدِّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُرْتَجَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ وَقَدْ وَرَدَ الْحَدِيثُ الثَّابِتُ بِإِجَازَةِ خَمْسٍ لَا يُتَشَهَّدُ وَلَا يُسَلَّمُ فِيهِنَّ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنَّ فِي الْوِتْرِ وَبِإِجَازَةِ تِسْعٍ لَا يُقْعَدُ إِلَّا فِي الثَّامِنَةِ وَلَا يُسَلَّمُ إِلَّا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا فِي الْوِتْرِ مَذْكُورٌ  

[Machine] "I swear by Allah, I will not leave until I see whether he prefers to depart on an even rakah or an odd rakah." So when the man departed, he said to him, "O Abdullah, do you know whether you left on an even rakah or an odd rakah?" He replied, "No, I do not know, for Allah knows. Indeed, I heard my beloved, Abu Al-Qasim, peace and blessings be upon him, say, and he wept and then said, "Indeed, I heard my beloved, Abu Al-Qasim (PBUH), say, 'There is no servant who prostrates to Allah in a prostration except that Allah elevates him by it a level and removes from him a sin.' So Al-Ahnaf ibn Qais said, 'Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you?' He said, 'Abu Dhar.' So I restrained myself from what had happened to me in relation to him."  

وَاللهِ لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ عَلَى شَفْعٍ يَنْصَرِفُ أَمْ عَلَى وِتْرٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ لَهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ هَلْ تَدْرِي عَلَى شَفْعٍ انْصَرَفْتَ أَمَ عَلَى وِتْرٍ؟ قَالَ أَلَّا أَكُونَ أَدْرِي فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَدْرِي إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ خَلِيلِي أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَامُهُ يَقُولُ ثُمَّ بَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ خَلِيلِي أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ الْأَحْنَفُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ؟ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَتَقَاصَرَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي مِمَّا وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي عَلَيْهِ  

I asked 'A'isha about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would observe prayer (Nafl) in a standing position as well as in a sitting position, and when he commenced the prayer in a standing position, he bowed in this very position, and when he commenced the prayer in a sitting position, he bowed in this very position. (Using translation from Muslim 730e)   

صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكْثِرُ الصَّلَاةَ قَائِمًا وَقَاعِدًا فَإِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ قَائِمًا رَكَعَ قَائِمًا وَإِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ قَاعِدًا رَكَعَ قَاعِدًا  

[Machine] Did the Prophet ﷺ used to pray while sitting? Aisha said, "Yes, after the people crowded around him."  

لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ هَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ بَعْدَ مَا حَطَمَهُ النَّاسُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pass away until he had prayed a lot while sitting.  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى كَانَ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ  

[Machine] The most frequent prayer of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was when he was sitting and feeling heavy or tired in his body.  

كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ ثَقُلَ وَبَدَّنَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ  

Never did I see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observing supererogatory prayer sitting till one year before his death when he would observe Nafl prayer in a sitting position, and he would recite the Surah (of the Qur'an) in such a slow-measured tone (that duration of its recital) became more lengthy than the one longer than this. (Using translation from Muslim 733a)   

مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي سُبْحَةٍ قَاعِدًا حَتَّى كَانَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ بِعَامٍ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي سُبْحَةٍ قَاعِدًا وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِالسُّورَةِ فَيُرَتِّلُهَا حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا  

[Machine] That the Prophet did not die until he prayed while sitting.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى صَلَّى قَاعِدًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not used to pray the night prayer sitting until he became old. He used to recite while sitting, and when he wanted to bow, he stood up and recited about thirty or forty verses, then he bowed.  

لَمْ تَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ اللَّيْلِ قَاعِدًا قَطُّ حَتَّى أَسَنَّ فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ قَاعِدًا حَتَّى إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ فَقَرَأَ نَحْوًا مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ آيَةً ثُمَّ رَكَعَ  

when the prophet ﷺ prayed sitting, he recited the Quran in sitting condition. When the amount of his recitation remained about thirty or forty verses he stood up and recited them standing. He then bowed and prostrated and then did so in the second Rak’ah of the prayer. Abu Dawud said: 'Alqamah b. Waqqas narrated this tradition on the authority of 'Aishah from the Prophet ﷺ to the same effect. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 954)   

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا فَيَقْرَأُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَإِذَا بَقِيَ مِنْ قَرَاءَتِهِ قَدْرُ مَا يَكُونُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ يَفْعَلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite (the Qur'an) while sitting and when he wanted to perform the rukoo (bowing), he would stand up after reciting about forty verses.  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ إِنْسَانٌ أَرْبَعِينَ آيَةً  

[Machine] I asked the Prophet ﷺ about the prayer of a person while sitting, and he said that whoever prays standing is better, and whoever prays sitting will have half the reward of the one who prays standing, and whoever prays while lying down will have half the reward of the one who prays sitting. This is mentioned in the Hadith of Abdullah bin Warith. And in the Hadith of Ishaq, it is mentioned that he asked the Prophet ﷺ about the prayer of a person sitting and the remaining of his prayer is similar to it. And in the Hadith of Yazid, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the prayer of a person sitting, and he replied...  

سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَقَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ وَمَنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ وَمَنْ صَلَّى نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَاعِدِ وَالْبَاقِي مِثْلُهُ وَفِي حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The sitting prayer is equivalent to half of the standing prayer."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ صَلَاةُ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to recite tasbih on his riding animal before any direction he faced and he used to perform the odd-numbered prayer on it, except that he did not pray on it the obligatory prayer. This is not mentioned in the hadith of Abu Dawood before  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَبِّحُ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ قِبَلَ أِيِّ وَجْهٍ تَوَجَّهَ وَيُوتِرُ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ لَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ قِبَلَ  

[Machine] That Abdullah used to pray on his camel wherever he turned towards it and he informed them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that and that Abdullah used to perform voluntary prayers on his camel.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَ بِهِ وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ وَأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ يُوتِرُ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever stands in prayer during Ramadan out of faith and hope for reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever observes Ramadan with faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say about Ramadan: "Whoever observes the fasts of Ramadan and stands in prayer on its nights out of sincere faith and seeking reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven." Abu Sa'id ibn Abi 'Amr, Abu Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami, Abu Al-Hasan As-Sabi'iy, and Abu Sa'id Al-Adib reported from Abu Abbas, who reported from Ar-Rabi' ibn Sulaiman, who reported from Ibn Wahb, who informed me that Malik reported from Ibn Shihab, who reported from Abu Salamah and Humayd ibn Abdur-Rahman, who reported from Abu Hurairah, who reported from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ similar to this narration. Ibn Uyaynah narrated from Az-Zuhri, who reported from Abu Salamah, who said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan and prays on the Night of Power..."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِرَمَضَانَ مَنْ قَامَهُ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَأنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو وَأَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ وَأَبُو الْحَسَنِ السَّبِيعِيُّ وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَدِيبُ قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَحُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَقَالَ مَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ  

[Machine] He ﷺ used to encourage the observance of Ramadan without commanding it with determination. He would say, "Whoever observes Ramadan out of faith and hoping for reward, all of his previous sins will be forgiven." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away and Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Ramadi added to this narration during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and a part of the caliphate of Umar.  

ﷺ كَانَ يُرَغِّبُ فِي قِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُمْ فِيهِ بِعَزِيمَةٍ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ زَادَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرٍ مِنْ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ ؓ
